Introduction:

HNF2SETV is a program to convert a humax settings file for OAK receivers to readable ascii text.
The output can be read by an ascii editor or a spreadsheet program, and it is also compatible with Humax Settings Viewer.

Installation:

- copy hnf2setv.exe and hnf2fvt.exe to a directory of your choice, e.g. C:\HNF2SETV.

Usage:

- copy your hnf settings file or fvt settings file to the hnf2setv directory;
- rename your file to "setview.hnf" in case of a hnf file or to "setview.fvt" in case of a fvt file;
- execute hnf2setv.exe.

The output will be in the file "setview.lst" for the tv channels and "setviewr.lst" for the radio channels in the same directory.
These files are ready to be read by any ascii editor (e.g. Notepad), spreadsheet program or Humax Settings Viewer (put the lst files in the same directory as setview.exe).

Release notes:

Version 1.0:
- Initial release.

Known issues:

- hnf2setv is limited to 10000 channels. That is enough for a settings file read from your Humax OAK receiver, but it might not be enough for a settings file downloaded from the internet.
- The additional HNFTool hnf2fvt.exe sometimes fails to convert a hnf file. If so, you can convert your hnf file in advance to a fvt file by a settings editor like HNFSmart.
- The Humax Settings Viewer does not read data on flags on locking, skipping, scrambling, favorite lists and satellite names. So there is no way to read this information by Humax Settings Viewer.
